Multiscale polymeric patterns resulting from flow of a binary polymer blend solution of polystyrene and poly-n-buthylacrylate in toluene on an inclined substrate are analysed with sub-microbeam GISAXS [1] and real space techniques. The locally isotropic phase-separation structure on the 1 micron level is embedded in a super structure on the 100 micron level of stripe-like variations of film thickness and composition oriented perpendicular to the flow direction. The multiscale pattern result from the interplay of evaporation, convective flow, diffusion and spinodal decomposition.
